ABSTRACT:
A fin stabilized, subcaliber propelling cage sabot projectile including a projectile body having a high length to diameter ratio, i.e., an arrow projectile, and a discardable propelling cage sabot composed of a plurality of segments which coaxially surround a portion of the length of the projectile body and define an annular air pockect in the front surface of the sabot.
To improve the process of releasing the propelling cage sabot segments from the projectile body once the projectile has left the gun barrel, a desired break location is provided in the propelling cage segments behind the frontal air pocket. This desired break location leads to separation of the outer front portion of the propelling cage sabot segments from the remainder of the sabot segments and thus, in the final effect, to an increase in hit accuracy.
